just when we thougt the good times were about to start all h... broka loose. last night the dam broke open due to heavy rain for the last many days. out of 10 days we had 8 with rain...i started up the old bulldozer and headed up for the dam. the next 3-4 hours i spent making a new channel for the river and repairing and strengthening the dams. this time with huge amounts of rock and sand. then i drove the bulldozer back to the station to refuel. as i was fueling the fuel pump broke so i had quite a leak to work on... the damage on the bridge in Nyhavn and on the road was severe. i guess murphy was around!
today the weather changed, the sun was shining for some time on us and the mosquitos came by...
we repaired the bridge and the road, but missed a big hole nearer to nyhavn, which we will do tomorrow. the rest of the day we spent by packing old paint into containers. this is all going home with the supply ship.
i invited our 3 neighbours from CASP on dinner, it's always nice to meat other people and be nice to them.
i put out some more pics...

Hej Bjarki, your work seems a little more strenuous than we used to do with out shovels on "Washburn Road.!!" The river has a mind of its own, for sure. Can you draw a little map of where it is making problems, and where it used to/should go?
It's pretty rainy here, too, but much warmer.....
